Dr Nicholas Clark

I completed a PhD in philosophy at the University of London in 2019, passing with no corrections required. My research focused upon ethics and metaethics. Prior to that, I earned a master’s degree in philosophy, gaining distinctions in all modules (i.e. metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, metaethics, political philosophy, and history of philosophy), with a very high distinction in my dissertation (a conjunction of the philosophy of religion and Bayesian probability). Given my academic background, I am well qualified to tutor A Level or undergraduate philosophy. Philosophy can be a challenging subject, but it is also an immensely rewarding one. My aim in tutoring is to demystify it — making things as clear and comprehensible as possible, and providing detailed and effective feedback. Not least, I want to make philosophy fun! Please email me at nclarke431@hotmail.com, telling me what area of philosophy you would like help with, and your level (A level or undergraduate).

Dr Nicholas Joll

I am a philosopher, residing in Essex, who has taught at the Universities of Essex and Hertfordshire and with the Open University. All of that teaching has been in philosophy and at undergraduate level. However, I have done A-Level philosophy tutoring too; and I have spent much time advising students – not all of them philosophers – on writing. I am the editor of Philosophy and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012). I know where my philosophical towel is. (That last bit is a Hitchhiker joke, for those not in the know . .) You can find out more about me, and contact me, via my website (nickjoll.co.uk)

I provide a philosophy and religious studies tutoring service to students in all areas of London. I have over a decades experience in the realm of philosophy education and teaching. I received my bachelor’s degree with First Class Honours in 2005 at the University of Bristol. I continued my studies at Bristol, where I received my MA with Distinction in February 2008. I have taught AQA philosophy at Skinner’s Academy and Bsix College in Hackney, London. I am presently based as a humanities teacher for The Southover Partnership School, in North London, where I teach – among other things – Edexcel religious studies at A-Level. I also communicate philosophical ideas through my YouTube channel, ‘offthebeatontrack’. My expertise resides in the areas of ethics and philosophy of religion, but I can also help you to untangle the many confusions surrounding those tricky epistemology subjects, including direct realism, indirect realism, idealism, the tripartite definition of knowledge, and the origin of concepts. In general, I help students by providing new perspectives and resources on key topics, and by helping to clarify technical terms, as well as offering essay guidance, including pre-marking and plans.https://www.youtube.com/user/offthebeatontrackdan_beaton@hotmail.com

B Perez-Bango

If you find Philosophy too abstract or difficult, I am offering a friendly and easy-to-follow tutorial. Philosophy is about everything: us, our relation with people and environment. In a way, we are philosophers in a small scale when we come to conclusions, sustain an argument or try to understand some complex ideas. Philosophy also provides you with essential tools needed for other academic subjects; I refer to it as the ‘gym’ for our reasoning. If you are interested and live in South West London you can contact me on begobango@hotmail.com

Sara Pergola

I offer tuition in Philosophy, Contemporary Art, and Italian, at all levels. I graduated in 2005 in History and Philosophy at the University “Orientale” of Naples, with an experimental thesis on the construction of meaning in “Alice Adventures in Wonderland”. The degree course covered fundamental subjects such as the history of philosophy, ethics and theoretic philosophy; antique, medieval, modern and contemporary History. It included other 10 complementary subjects: aesthetic, semiotic, theory of languages, philosophy of mind, psychology, amongst others. My personal plan of studies was centered on semiotic theories on text and visual interpretation linguistic vs everyday communication, gesture and behavioral pattern. I obtained an MA course degree in Curating Contemporary Design at the Kingston University, London, in 2007. In 2008 I was awarded a placement at the Accademia di Brera, Milan, for the Course in Organization and Communication of Visual Arts. I possess an extended knowledge of history of Art. If you need any tuition in: Italian, Philosophy, History of Art, and you are London based contact me sara.pergola@googlemail.com

Mohini Qavi

I have had ten years experience teaching in both the state and private sector. I am currently working as Head of Religious Studies and Philosophy at Lansdowne College, where I teach OCR GCSE Religious Studies; OCR/ AQA and Edexcel Religious Studies at AS and A2; and AQA Philosophy at AS and A2. I also run the UKCAT course for Lansdowne College and teach the Verbal Reasoning part of the BMAT exam. I also have experience in teaching Critical Thinking AS and A2 (OCR); Media Studies GCSE and A’ Level (wjec) and Government and Politics AS and A2 (OCR). In addition to being a teacher I am also an examiner for OCR (Ethics AS); Edexcel (GCSE RS); AQA (Unit 3 Philosophy). Being an examiner has been exceptionally useful in informing me how best to enable students to achieve their potential and acquire the mark that best reflects their ability. This is because being aware of how the examination process takes place, means that regardless of the subject I am teaching I am able to help students refine their work so that they can perform effectively in exams. I also am CRB checked.

Eliana Zur-Szpiro

I am available for tutoring a-level and degree level philosophy in London. I love philosophy and am rather good at it, though it wasn’t always that way. I had to work hard to develop study techniques and an understanding of my subject, particularly as I have motor dyspraxia, a learning difficulty. I am therefore well equipped to share my skills and knowledge. I achieved the highest first in my year for BA in Philosophy at the University of Nottingham. While there I presented a paper in an academic conference at the University of Glasgow. I also gained a Distinction in my Masters in Political Philosophy from UCL. I am currently tutoring a student in economics and philosophy. I informally tutored two people in philosophy while at University. I also taught a course in political philosophy at a community centre. My approach is to develop with a student a set of techniques that reflect the student’s personality. I think people are often capable of more than they realise because they lack confidence. If you wish to achieve your potential and/or have a lot of fun doing philosophy, get in touch! elianazurszpiro@gmail.com

Rachel Gardner

I first started tutoring some of my fellow students in Philosophy during my second year at University and greatly enjoyed helping people improve their understanding of the subject and gain higher marks. Once my degree was completed I began tutoring A-Level students in Religious Studies and Philosophy in the Leeds area before re-locating to the Brighton / Hove area and have now been a private tutor for the last 6 years and I am fully CRB checked. The potential of tutoring can only be maximised if each student feels comfortable in lessons, so I actively try to cultivate a good working relationship with each student. After all, if I were not enthusiastic and passionate about the subject it would be impossible to motivate any students to be enthusiastic about it! So far all my students have improved their performance by at least two grade boundaries following tuition with me and all my students have achieved either A*, A or B grades in their exams. You can get in touch with me via my website www.rcrtuition.com or email me rcrgardner@yahoo.co.uk or call 07904 863792

Amy Hemingway

I graduated with a Masters Degree in Theology from Oxford University. I have been tutoring in Religious Studies and Philosophy at GCSE and A Level for over 6 years in Oxford. I am fully CRB checked and have taken courses in child safety and protection online. I aim to make philosophy as interesting as possible for the student, and to bring the questions to life rather than the student feeling bogged down and overwhelmed by wordy textbooks and confusing vocabulary. I am deeply passionate about helping others get closer to the truth about themselves and the universe, and at the end of the day this is why studying Philosophy matters. The quest for truth must always be the most important aspect of the course. For assistance with your course, at whatever level it may be, please contact me on amy@hemingwayart.co.uk.

Maria Keogh

I’m a full-time, professional, teacher and qualified private tutor who’s taught students at a wide variety of levels. My students see improved grades in exams and an increase in confidence and general understanding in their subject. I have degrees in both Philosophy & Ehics and Geography . I’m intellectually excitable, a quality with which I hope to infect my students. Above all I aim to make my students autonomous learners with the ability to master their subject and an appreciation of why that’s worth doing. Teaching Experience: My sessions are interactive, exploratory and creative. I don’t turn up with the same shrink-wrapped lessons for every student; I’ll adapt to your personal needs, your specific goals and your own style of learning. I’m especially experienced with GCSE and A Level Philosophy Exams. A balance between understanding the material and preparation for exams is essential, and my role is often to balance out the “production line” model of large-class teaching at schools and colleges.
I can also help with exam performance issues and study methods, including advanced techniques for memorization and speed reading. climateactioneducation@gmail.com

Joanne Lovesey

If you would like to understand the subject better, overcome difficulties with aspects of the subject or the general methods, need to improve your grade or achieve a high grade for University entry, get in touch! In my ten years of teaching, I have learnt exactly what it takes to excel and how to teach this in a straightforward and engaging way, and most of my students have achieved A or A* grades. Some of these achievements reflect very impressive improvements, and I take on students of all abilities. I will tailor the style, pace, content, and depth of teaching to support your growth, which will depend on your needs, abilities, goals, and learning style. I can teach content from any A level syllabus, and can coach on exam technique and essay writing technique for any exam board, which can have a big effect on final results. In addition to my teaching experience at A Level, I’ve taught at the Undergraduate level for six years, giving lectures, seminars, and tuition to undergraduates. I have a First Class degree from Reading, a BPhil from Oxford University, and a PhD from Heythrop, University of London.

Marelle Rice

As a Head of RS in a large comprehensive school, I have taught philosophy and ethics at A Level and GCSE for ten years. I am also an A Level examiner for Edexcel and understand the assessment methods as confidently as the subject matter. Former A Level students have been amongst the top ten candidates sitting the Edexcel Philosophy and Ethics Religious Studies examination. This is no small achievement when approximately 6,000 students enter the exam each year. Consistently yielding positive residuals, students’ GCE results place my A Level teaching on an ALPS grade of 2, which means I am among the top 10 per cent of A Level Philosophy and Ethics teachers in the country. Based in Hertfordshire I can offer tuition in my home or yours with negotiable rates. Contact me on marelle.rice@hotmail.co.uk .

Jon Powell

I am first and foremost a passionate communicator and educator. Alongside the formal qualifications and training (I have a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Reading and have been teaching philosophy for 9 years) what you’ll get from me is a highly enthusiastic, committed, intellectual ally who wants you to succeed. Having taught philosophy to people of all ages I know from personal experience that anyone, at any level can move forward in their understanding with the right structure, guidance, encouragement, feedback and support and I mould any tutoring work to the needs and current areas for growth of my tutees. I believe that the best tutoring equips tutees with the skills and techniques to develop further for themselves. I have taught A-Level Philosophy and Ethics in a Secondary School setting and tutored A-Level students for both AQA and OCR qualifications privately. I offer tutoring to aid understanding of specific course content and more generally in philosophical and academic skills i.e. essay-writing practice, exam technique, research development, critical thinking and discourse.

Joanne Lovesey

I have been teaching A level philosophy for 7 years. I know exactly what it takes to excel and how to teach this in a straightforward and engaging way, and most of my students have achieved A or A* grades. Some of these achievements reflect very impressive improvements, and I take on students of all abilities. In addition to my teaching experience at A Level, I’ve taught at the Undergraduate level for 5 years, giving lectures, seminars, and tuition to undergraduates. I have a First Class degree from Reading, a BPhil from Oxford University, and a PhD from Heythrop, University of London. I will tailor the style, pace, content, and depth of teaching to support your growth, which will depend on your needs, abilities, goals, and learning style. I can teach content from any A level syllabus, and can coach on exam technique and essay writing technique for any exam board, which can have a big effect on final results. If you would like to understand the subject better, go beyond what you’ve covered in the classroom, prepare for philosophy at university, or simply to get the best exam grade possible, get in touch! I can teach face-to-face from home in Reading, or at your home or public location in Bristol, London, or possibly other places within reach (at a possible extra cost for travel) and can also offer online help (usually via Skype) for anyone worldwide. I am also able to offer help with essays and mock exams, which can be done either face to face or over email and Skype. Contact me with information about how I can help you at info@philosophytuition.com or via my contact form on www.philosophytuition.com.

Peter Kirwan

Originally from Edinburgh, I received my first class undergraduate M.A. in Philosophy from the University of St. Andrews followed by postgraduate Masters degrees in applied philosophy and philosophy from Bowling Green State University and the University of California, Irvine respectively. I have four years teaching experience and specialise in ethics but can teach most areas of philosophy. In my spare time I watch a great deal of comedy, collect and read second hand books (right now primarily non fiction). I am also a powerlifter in the British Drug Free Powerlifting Association (BDFPA). So get in touch if you need a philosophy tutor or if you’d like to chat about applied ethics! peterkirwan@ymail.com
